I took my car to the dealer last week because I have the "irregular wear" on the inside of my tires. Now, by reading the threads in the forum, we know that for some reason the tires are rubbing the struts. I told them about this and asked them to check this out along with several other things. I came back to pick up my car and they said "yah, you have irregular wear, there's nothing we can do though." I was like "WHAT?!!??" My car has 29k miles, and I have had the right strut replaced at 24k miles. I asked them to check out my left strut because it makes a metal to metal squeaking noise and they told me that it was fine and they didn't hear a noise. It wasn't until I demanded that they get in the car and let me show them what I mean. Sure enough, they heard it that time and now I have a new strut on order.
I was thinking that I should wait until my stut is installed (now I'll have both replaced) and when I get the car back, go to an alignment/tire shop, and have them check the alignment and ask them to see as to why the tires are bald on the inside. Is there any logical explanation for this? I rotate my tires regularly and have decent tread on them still with the exception of the inside. I had wires sticking out of one tire and when I got the most recent alignment, they told me that they don't want to be responsible if something happened to me if I drove off like that. I got a used tire from them so I know that something major wouldn't happen, but what I want to know is that the wear on tire should not be there, correct? I mean, it isn't supposed to wear out like that, right? Can this be attributed to something specifically? And, why did I feel that the dealership could care less? I mean they didn't tell me anything I didn't know already and the answer they told me sounded like a "screw you" type of answer. I'm just concerned about the car and would like to see if anyone has any suggestions as far as to what I should provide to them to PROVE this is a MAJOR PROBLEM to our cars due to the Design of this part. :confused :confused :confused
